A MUD or Multi-User-Dungeon/Dimension/Domain, is a text-based, multi-player virtual envionment that can fill many functions. Some of the different types of MUDs are used for online-flirting and chatting, gaming and even the collective development of software. Many of the first MUDs were role-playing games in a fantasy world with rules reminiscent of the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. MUD's are a precursor to Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games or MMORPG's like World of Warcraft and social virtual worlds like Second Life. One noteable feature of a MUD is that users can create things that remain after they leave the virtual space that other users can interact with and modify in the creators absence allowing the world to be created both continuously and collectively. Each MUD is a virtual universe run by a complex server program that manages a local world in response to the words and actions of human and automated visitors.
Some good examples of MUD's can be found here, here and here.
